Greater understanding? You got to be fucking kidding me. Since when did religion become the knowledge bringer? How the fuck does a belief or as you say "personal relationship" in an imaginary friend boost my understanding of the world?
Last time I checked religion has never ever given any details into anything. It doesn't teach how things work, it tells you what to believe. It doesn't give knowledge but instead baseless claims.
Goddidit leaves you at only one place, nothing. No knowledge gained, there is no greater understanding in any of it.
So no.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
